Fresh
out of rehab and into the real world, Roxie is thrown into the deep end
of despair and temptation. Whilst in rehab, as well as recovering from
her demons, there’s one thing she knows for sure. That Mason is the man
for her but she fucked it all up in the arms of Joe. Now she needs to
fix what she broke, if only Mason would just listen to her. Instead he
flaunts women in her face and ignores her every try. Unfortunately for
Roxie, in anger Mason points Joe in her path, not knowing the danger he
has put her in.
Thankfully, she has much needed support from her
girls and it’s not long until they reveal her hidden secret. The burden
of it tears Roxie apart and on top of the buried addiction to alcohol,
constant blackmailing and worry from Joe, everything is revealed in a
bloody mess.

Torn between the right path and the wrong, can
Roxie fight her daily craving for the bottle and heal from her scars?
Can she escape from the greedy hands of Joe safely and will Mason
finally give Roxie a chance to beg for his forgiveness and have one
last and final chance?

I
see Mason is standing inside, surrounded by the guys, but what I’m not
prepared for is the half-naked woman standing at the top of the stairs
when I walk inside. “So I see it’s true.” I cross my arms over my
chest. “Rox, this isn’t what it seems,” Mason starts, but I give him a
look. “Really, Mason?” He doesn’t say anything else, and that tells me
everything. I try to calm myself down, because this is hard for me to
see. Fresh out of rehab, and I’m already forced to see this shit. I was
counselled to accept responsibility for my own downfall, so I try my
best to calm my rage. “I don’t see why you had to bring her out of all
people, Mason,” Crystal scolds. “This has nothing to do with you!” The
girl, Natasha, shouts down to her. “Bitch, this has everything to do
with me! You’re messing with my family!” Crystal shouts back.
“Chris...” Booker warns, and I don’t miss the odd look Tate gives him.
I look up at Natasha, and it hurts to see how skinny she looks. I have
curves, a big bust, and here’s wannabe Barbie looking down at me like
she’s the shit! That just pisses me off! I’ve gone through so much
bullshit lately, and I’ve worked so damn hard I don’t need Natasha
looking down at me. But still, I need to reign in my anger; this all
comes down to me. If I hadn’t slept with Joe, I doubt my depression
would have spiralled like it did. Maybe we wouldn’t be here right now,
maybe I would be at the top of those stairs looking satisfied with
myself. For me to start screaming and shouting right now is something I
don’t want to do. Nor should I. “You need to get your skinny ass out of
here, so go jump in your little Barbie car and fuck off!” I direct up
at her, and I hear laughter behind me. “Rox,” Mason warns me and I turn
to glare at him. “Don’t even fucking talk to me right now! You gave me
shit yesterday for what I did, and I pay for that every-fucking-day,
yet here you are, sleeping with sluts like it’s no big fucking deal!” I
take a step closer to Mason. “I know we’re not together anymore, but
seeing this so quickly after talking to you yesterday is fucked up. I
thought we could maybe sort through this, because there’re still things
we need to talk about, but I guess there’s no point now.” “Come on,
guys,” Tate says, ushering everyone out. I stop them, “No, stay. I’m
going now anyway.”

herself back together, piece by ragged piece.

Peyton
has dark secrets of his own. Secrets that leave him no choice but to

But his
desire for Braelynn has him fighting between what he wants, and what he
needs to do to keep her safe.

Love
can only withstand so much. The connection between Braelynn and Peyton
has been tested before—could this be their breaking point?

EXCERPT

She lay
naked on the white linen sheet, her golden blonde hair fanned out
across her pillow. She had been my all, the one to come into my life,
cause havoc, and claim my heart. She had been my everything.
My greatest desire. The fuel that pumped through my veins.

The
sun beamed down on her skin, glistening on her flawless fair body. Almost
flawless anyway.

The
marks from our recent times in the playroom were still visible, her
wrists that were tucked under her chin revealing a crimson burn from
her pulling on the restraints. Her plump breast scarred from the lashes
of the flogger, and her upper thighs holding the same marks as her
breast.

I
was terrified at the pain I had caused her, but horrified that I wanted
to cause more.

Braelynn
had repeated over and over that she loved the marks and the pleasures
they gave her. Since she had rejected my proposal, I began to feel that
she was slipping away. The grasp I had over her was fading and my need
for her had been replaced with rage and want. I needed to punish her
for saying no, whip her flesh when I felt her slipping out of my hands.
Though I was sickened once we were done, massaging the welts kissing
them with my love, I reveled in her moans and her screams of pleasure
made me hungry for more.

She
had turned me into the monster I now was. Possessive, demanding, and
hungrier for her than I had ever been. Her arousal when I slid deep
inside her had me on the brink of losing myself. The way she came
around me, choking my cock … it was indescribable. But when she bowed
her head, her blonde hair covering her face as she submitted to me, that
had my inner Dom crawling out of my body, wanting to take
full reign over hers.

And
I did.

For
the past six weeks she’d spent every night with me, letting me have
full possession of her weak body. But the nagging voice in my head kept
saying that our time was limited.

“You’re
doing it again,” she whispered, her voice filled with exhaustion. Her
eyes peered open when she spoke.

I
leaned forward, kissing the tip of her nose. “I don’t know what you’re
talking about,” I lied.

“I
have a safe word and I have yet to use it.” She pulled the cover over
her blemished flesh and turned on her side.

She
hadn’t used it yet…

But
would she?

Livia
Jamerlan is the author of Divided. She is also a hopeless romantic who
is always looking for her next love story to pop in her head. Though
Livia kept a journal throughout her early life, she never thought about
pursuing a career in writing. She always used it as form of therapy,
pouring her heart out into words. It wasn’t until a story developed in
her head that she decided maybe she could write a book. At first it was
just an escape from reality, but now she uses it as a power to put all
her feelings, hopes, and fears on paper. Deciding it was time to tell
her story, she began to write. With each passing day the story grew,
characters were formed, and what seemed like a hobby at first has now
become a passion for Livia.

She
is a New Jersey Native who loves spending time with her husband and two
dogs Buddy and Daisy. When she is not writing or hiding behind her
Kindle, you can find her with outside, gardening, at a local shopping
center enjoying some retail therapy, or enjoy a pepperoni pizza.

Being a lover of all things romance, one of the subgenres I enjoy is
the Sci-Fi romances. I don't read a lot of them since I seem to be
stuck in a paranormal or contemporary phase right now, but I do love
some good Sci-Fi. I think it's from all that Star Trek watching in my
younger days. Shhhh... don't tell anyone I'm a geek as well as a book
nerd! Here's a lovely little Sci-Fi romance to get you kickstarted into
the subgenre.

A woman who can stop time + the ex-Navy SEAL hunting her = a sexy,
fast-paced action romance

Bay
North wants revenge, no, she craves revenge. Hunted for her psychic
ability to steal time and forced to watch her family die, all she wants
is to make the crime lord who’s taken everything from her pay. But now
he's set the ultimate hunter on her trail and Bay will need all her
skills just to survive the gray-eyed, hard-bodied man out to kill her.

Ex-Navy
SEAL Sean Archer has nothing left but a thirst for vengeance. After his
team is killed in Afghanistan by a time thief, he came home a broken
man. Now he hunts any of the monsters he can find, ready to rid the
world of the dangerous mutation.

But when he finally tracks
Bay to Denver, he doesn’t see a monster or a mutation, he sees a tough,
beautiful survivor who ignites a desire he can’t deny. During a
shootout, hunter and hunted find themselves thrust into a reluctant
alliance that shatters all their defenses. Can Sean convince a woman
honed in revenge that they can have more than vengeance, blood and
killing?

Note to readers: This fast-paced novella contains a
lot of action and adventure (think gunfights, car chases and a little
breaking and entering), cool superpowers (stopping time and mind
control) and a steamy romance (lots and lots of sexy steam between a
muscled former SEAL and a gutsy time thief). It’s a little bit
paranormal romance, a touch science fiction romance with a side of
romantic suspense. So if you like it fast, and fun, and sexy, this is
for you!

"I devoured Time Thief in one sitting and enjoyed reading every page of
it."

"Loved reading every minute of Mind Raider and without a doubt, this
will be a reread for me."

"As I was reading, this story played out like a movie in my head due to
the flawless storytelling and vivid imagery."

"A delicious combination of action and sensuality, which is frankly
irresistible."

"This is romantic suspense with high stakes and hot sexiness."

"The elements of danger, suspense, romance and good vs evil were
absolutely brilliantly depicted."

"Rich with emotions, a fully developed plot and storyline and memorable
characters, Soul Stealer was a fantastic read."

"Read
in one sitting, I loved the fast paced, pull no punches action that
each page contained. Soul Stealer is full of twists and turns that I
didn't see coming. My heart is still racing as I write this!"

"Fans of paranormal/sci-fiction romance need to pick up Salvation along
with the rest of the Anomaly Trilogy. Don't miss out!"

About
the author:I'm passionate about action romance. I love stories that
combine the thrill of falling in love with the excitement of action,
danger and adventure. I write about people overcoming unbeatable odds
and achieving seemingly impossible goals. I like to believe it's
possible for all of us to do the same.

My parents are to blame for my insatiable need to mix action and
romance. When I was young, I raided my mother's romances and my
father's action adventure thrillers. I love being exhilarated and left
just a little breathless. I love car chases, explosions and
spaceships...and of course when the boy wins the girl. Oh, and I'm a
sucker for that moment when the team is walking in slow motion,
shoulder-to-shoulder heading off into battle. After reading, watching
or writing an awesome action romance story, I'm left energized and
feeling like anything is possible. I aim to give the same to my readers.

I was standing in
the
middle of nowhere with no real destination in mind. There was only the
dire need to disappear from Charleston. With my head tilted up to the
gray sky and my eyes closed, I let the light droplets of rain fall onto
my face. I’d reached a crossroads in my life and was trying to find a
reason to keep going. I had no idea a hurricane was coming and fate
would choose that moment for our paths to cross.

“Hey! You okay?” A
voice
called out to me in a deep southern drawl, pulling me out of my fog.
“Can I give you a ride somewhere?”
I opened my eyes and found a pair of intense blue eyes staring back at
me. His name was Fox. He had an irresistibly sexy grin, and judging by
his fast car, a need for speed. His timing couldn't have been more
perfect. I was looking to start a little trouble, since it was what I
did best and he seemed like a good target. After sharing an incredible
night together, I quickly learned that Fox was more than he appeared
and full of delicious surprises. He gifted my body with unbelievable
pleasures and unlocked emotions that I’d wanted to keep hidden. When I
pushed him away, he left claiming a piece of my soul.

I never imagined
that
getting into his car that day would start a transformation within me
and forever change the course of my life. Fox challenged every rule I’d
ever made by tearing down the carefully constructed barriers around my
heart. I never intended to fall in love with him but how could I resist
a man who was so different than I’d expected and more than I ever
deserved? The grayness in my life caused by loss and betrayal was
waging a storm within me; Fox was the anchor I needed to stop the inner
turmoil and bring me back into the light.

I would like you to join me in welcoming Sonja L Myburgh
to the
blog today to promote her new release, Between Rubies & Opals.
This
book has been a long time in coming between the time I started beta
reading
it, getting published and Sonja finally having the time to promote the
book. I remember really enjoying the story when I beta read it and I
promise you that I would not promote a book I beta read just because I
beta read
it. If it was awful, it would not be on the blog. I haven't read the
final version yet but Sonja has been kind enough to send me to copy so
I just might have to fit it into the rotation but I recall enjoying the
original draft. I am curious to
see what changes have been made to the first draft that I read.

Since
the dawn of time, there has been a violent race feud between the
vampires and the werewolves, and many lives were lost through the
centuries. Until this day, the feud continues…

For five
centuries,Vampire-governor Marcus Wasilewski rules Algharakh with a
marble fist, as he classifies the vamps as the superior race, which
severely oppresses the wolf race. Racism is eminent and the wolves
demand justice, as Senator Frank Morton, leader of the political party
W.O.L.F, brings Algharakh on the precipice of a political shift.

In
the midst of all the chaos, a forbidden love blooms between Sam, a
werewolf, and Erin, a vampire. The two lovers, even threatened by
attacks from their opposing races, do the unthinkable, and the illegal,
not knowing the significant impact their decisions will have on the
people around them, and on themselves.

Will their unique love
withstand the cruel prejudice and put an end to the race feud that
pumps through the residents of Algharakh’s veins, or will they be
ripped apart by the very thing that brought them together?

"Even in the midst of tragedy, a silver lining managed to crawl out
behind the darkness…"

Erin plugged her headphones into her ears and started humming along to
an old school rock ballad as she folded her clean clothes. Even though
this was the first time that she did her laundry by herself, she knew
exactly what she was doing, as she memorized every single online
tutorial on how to properly fold clothes.

A
strange feeling crept up her spine and she got the distinct feeling
that she was being watched. It could be her paranoia, which was already
in overdrive. If her mother knew where she was, she’d be so incredibly
dead. Well, figuratively speaking, of course. She stopped suddenly,
staring at the half-folded shirt in front of her and slowly turned her
head to the side. There was a guy, who looked about her age, standing a
few feet away from her, shoving his light gray jacket onto a dryer,
with an amused smile on his face. The gray shirt he had on made his
shoulders look extra broad and Erin felt another strange, yet powerful
pull towards this guy. He was tall, had light brown hair and was
ruggedly handsome, everything that Erin liked in a guy, but with her
recent catastrophe on the dating front, she was not sure what exactly
she liked anymore.

Her ex, Lukas was still a
sore subject, and even when Anthony mentioned him briefly yesterday,
she was feeling troubled.

Empty.

Even though Anthony apologized for bringing up Lukas’ name and the
whole blasted situation, that had caused Erin unbearable agony for
almost half a century, it still hurt. Hearing his name brought back so
many vivid memories. Memories she would much rather forget. Memories
that made her skin crawl and broke her stillborn heart all over again.
Although Erin tried her best to shrug it off, it pained her more than
she thought it would.

That was the trouble
with being the way she was. All her emotions were intensified. When
she’s happy, she’s ecstatic, the world was hers for the taking, but
when she’s sad, depressed and empty, her whole world crashed down
around her, and she would feel less pain if her head was ripped off her
body by an angry wolf. She often wondered why she experienced her
emotions so intensely, and sometimes felt jealous of her brother, being
able to feel nothing at all. Maybe that would have been better
altogether.

She gathered her train of
thought, before it went flying off a cliff and realized that she was
openly and shamelessly staring at this guy. Embarrassed, and slightly
ashamed, she dropped her head and continued to fold the shirt in front
of her.

Then, as a saving grace, her favorite
part of the chorus blared through her headphones and for a brief
moment, she forgot about everyone around her and belted out the chorus
to herself. She glanced over at the guy again, but this time he was
looking straight at her, with a crooked smile on his sexy face. He was
hot – bottom line - and she felt herself blush as she removed her
headphones from her ears.

Cringing inwardly, she knew she had done
it again. “Oh god, I was singing really loud, wasn’t I?”

“Just a little,” the guy said to her,
his words rolling off his tongue like melted chocolate.

Erin let out a long, slow breath and it felt like everything was moving
in slow motion. “I’m sorry, it’s a habit.”

“You like old school rock?” he asked her
and walked up to her.

“A little too much. It’s my favorite
era.”

“You didn’t strike me as a rocker girl.”

“Oh really? So the leather jacket wasn’t a giveaway?” She pointed to
her leather jacket that was draped over the backrest of her seat and
raised an eyebrow at him.

“Not really, you look more like a hippy
girl to me,” he said with a smile as he touched her dark side braid.

“It keeps my hair out of my face,
especially on days like today. The rain makes it go extra fuzzy.”

“I know the feeling,” he nodded with a
sexy smile.

“Besides, nobody remembers anything from the hippy era, they were all
high.” Erin pulled a face and suddenly looked around her. “Which
reminds me, where’s Lex?”

“The tall, blonde girl?” he asked.

“Uh huh,” Erin cringed, knowing that he
obviously noticed Alex first. It was always like that.

“She’s over there, chatting up my friend.” He motioned to the door and
Erin saw Alex talking suggestively to a guy, who looked vaguely
familiar. He had pitch black curly hair, but couldn’t really make out
his face. Turning her attention back to the guy in front of her, she
noticed his hair was straight and not as dark. His eyes were something
she had never seen in her almost-300 years in this world. They were the
brightest blue she had ever seen, with slivers of silver that sparkled
like diamonds every time he looked at her.

Erin took a deep breath, and composed herself, or at least tried to.
She hadn’t fallen down yet, so that was a good thing.

“Right, of course she is. I can’t take her anywhere,” Erin sighed. “I
should really consider getting her a leash.”

“Good idea.”

“Well, at least now I get to see the guy
she’s sleeping with tonight, which is definitely a first.”

“I highly doubt she’s his type.”

“Why is that?”

“He’s not really a blonde girl type of
guy. Much like myself, we prefer brunettes. Even redheads.”

“Your subtlety is almost commendable,”
Erin grinned at him and he let out a laugh.

A deep, throaty laugh, that made her
knees feel weak.

“Thank you. I’m Sam, by the way.” He
held out his hand to her.

“Erin. It’s nice to meet you, Sam.” Erin placed her hand in his and
looked at him, feeling the slow motion movement return. His eyes
swirled around like the dark depths of the ocean, and she had to fight
with herself to look away. Luckily, Sam let go of her hand, making
everything go back to normal speed. She let out another slow breath and
watched as he crossed his arms.

“I’ve never seen you here before,” he
pointed out.

“That’s because this is my first time.
Here.”

“Your first time? To a Laundromat?”

“As a matter of fact, yes.”

“Why is that?”

“I have no idea. It was always done for
us.”

“Rich daddy?”

“You could say that.”

“And I’m guessing, by the way you look
around all the time, they don’t know you’re here, right?”

“Not at all. My mother would kill me if
she knew where I was,” Erin chuckled nervously.

“Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.” Sam
knocked his knuckles against the door of the dryer.

“So why are you here then? I don’t see
any clothes…” Erin raised an eyebrow at him.

Erin let out an amused giggle and looked
at him. “And you’re only drying your jacket?”

“If you want me to strip down, just ask,” Sam said to her with a
crooked smile that almost made her skin melt off her body.

“I’ll remember that.”

he knows
and what keeps him in balance. His latest assignment has him fighting a
war
with a partner he doesn’t believe he can trust.

personal sense of worth—enough is enough. The very people closest to
her now

Book Four:

Tall, Dark,
and Broody—Quade Roston, her fellow Centre co-worker—was assigned to be
her
partner.

For the last twelve
months, these two had been at war. In

to do
about it?

bikie war. Now she’s dealing with threats from all corners. But maybe,
just

And this time .... this time there are TWO dragons!! The more, the
merrier, yes? :-)

At the time of writing this post, this book is doing extremely well in
the Amazon charts. See for yourself. So it's got to be pretty good too,
yes?

In a dystopian future, fertile women are so hard to come by that they
are now bought and sold for huge sums of money across the world. You
could say that women are the new currency.

Curvy Kira Southerly is one of the few remaining fertile women left on
the planet and she has resigned herself to the fate of being SOLD.

However, she had no idea she would end up being sold to two young and
handsome bachelors named Blake and Steven. They are both dragon
shifters and they are intent on mating with her and producing a baby as
soon as possible.

With not enough fertile women to go around the brothers have no choice
but to share the curvy beauty among themselves. Something that allows
Kira to fulfill her every sexual fantasy....

Being sold to dragons should not be this much fun, should it?

In the Gladium Province,
the boundaries between humans and Morgons, the dragon-hybrid race,
continue to blur as a new generation surrenders to long-forbidden
temptation…

Sorcha Linden does
whatever she wants whenever she wants, and no one can stop her. Least
of all a man. After all, they’re good for only one thing—warming her
bed. But then she meets Lorian Nightwing, brother of Lucius. Seductive
and iron-willed, he is determined to melt her emotional defenses—and
warm her rebellious heart.

The beast within Lorian
longs to cage Sorcha and mark her as his own. Forever. Yet the man
within also longs to protect her. When a stalker starts leaving Sorcha
suggestive gifts with cryptic messages bearing an ancient blood cult
symbol, Lorian’s dragon side takes over. With her life at stake, Sorcha
can no longer deny the love they share. But when evil tracks her into
the night, will she be too late to claim it?

While I was reading this book, I was thinking, how do I write this
review? I love the world that Juliette has created and I love her
Morgon men, but this heroine, Sorcha ... I really did not like her in
the beginning.

I found Sorcha to be brash, loud and I didn't like her attitude. I
didn't like that she didn't think before she spoke, that she had a
smart mouth and that she used sex as a weapon to keep people at bay. It
cheapened her as a woman and made her come across as slutty. As the
book progressed, I grew to see that underneath all the bravado was a
scared little girl who was afraid to love and trust, and she was using
all that swaggering to cover up a wounded heart. It helped me to
understand her and it helped me to dislike her less but it still didn't
excuse or wash away her behavior in the previous book and the beginning
of this one for me.

Now Lorian ... I loved. I was expecting him to be much darker and
broodier from his introduction in Soulfire and his past, but he was
just a strong, dominating alpha male who knew what he wanted and went
after it. He understood Sorcha and her past better than she probably
did herself and forgave her for it. I enjoyed seeing her pursuit of her
and how he progressively broke down those walls so that at a point when
Sorcha thought she was in danger, he was the first one she called. A
definite change in her attitude from thinking of him as just another
one night stand to someone she could count on and trust.

The mystery of who was stalking Sorcha was a good one too. Finding out
who was actually the stalker really surprised me and it was a great
twist to the story.
I'm really enjoying these Morgon men that Juliette has created and I'm
glad that I didn't have to wait too long between Soulfire and this one.
I'm looking forward to Nightbloom when it comes out in September ...
September seems so far away ...

“I
let myself feel everything. Just this once, I wanted it all. I let him
push our passion to the cliff, let my body synchronize to his in
perfect harmony. Just this once, I let more than my body fall over the
edge. With him.”―Juliette
Cross,Windburn

“...
But I won't be your prey. There's only one hunter here." His grin sent
a shiver down my spine. "I want something more from you, Sorcha Linden.
More than your body.”

Juliette
calls lush, moss-laden Louisiana home where the landscape curls into
her imagination, creating mystical settings for her stories. She has a
B.A. in creative writing from Louisiana State University, a M.Ed. in
gifted education, and was privileged to study under the award-winning
author Ernest J. Gaines in grad school. Her love of mythology, legends,
and art serve as constant inspiration for her works. From the moment
she read JANE EYRE as a teenager, she fell in love with the Gothic
romance--brooding characters, mysterious settings, persevering
heroines, and dark, sexy heroes. Even then, she not only longed to read
more novels set in Gothic worlds, she wanted to create her own.

I loved Skye Warren's Beauty series and His For Christmas and her writing is excellent but this just is too dark for me. I know it is branded as dark erotica and I thought that I would take a chance on the novella / prequel to the series...

Even though the world this book is based in consists of elves and are one of my favorite character races to read about (which was why I got excited and picked up this prequel) reading this did not make me want to run out and grab the fir...
